At the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Aston Martin once again demonstrated its bold commitment to performance and design. This year’s event highlighted the brand’s expansive product range—from visionary hypercars to race-derived technologies.
Making its dynamic UK debut, the Valhalla took to the stage as Aston Martin’s first mid-engined plug-in hybrid supercar. Developed with Formula 1®–inspired technology, the model impressed spectators with its aerodynamic form and motorsport-grade engineering. Following its world premiere at the Monaco Grand Prix with Fernando Alonso behind the wheel, Valhalla’s appearance at Goodwood signaled the brand’s decisive step into the hypercar segment.
The legendary Valkyrie climbed the iconic Goodwood hill for the fifth consecutive year, cementing its status as a recurring highlight of the festival. This road-legal hypercar continued to captivate performance enthusiasts with its thunderous V12 soundtrack and aggressive stance. Also making its dynamic debut was the Valkyrie Le Mans Hypercar, a model inspired by endurance racing and a powerful representation of Aston Martin’s return to top-tier motorsport.
In the Supercar Paddock, Aston Martin presented the Vanquish Volante and DB12 Volante—two elegant open-top models that embody the brand’s convertible heritage. Drawing a lineage from the original 1965 Short Chassis Volante, these cars combine handcrafted luxury with cutting-edge performance and design.
Another major debut at the festival was the DBX S, shown for the first time in the “First Glance” paddock. With 717 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque, this high-performance SUV stands as the most powerful and fastest in its segment. Accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds, the DBX S reinforces Aston Martin’s dynamic identity within the SUV category.
With every model it brought to Goodwood 2025, Aston Martin delivered not only the pinnacle of present-day engineering but also a bold vision for the future. Sharp design, motorsport spirit, and cutting-edge innovation came together to create a true symphony of performance on the rolling hills of West Sussex.
